The tendrils made out of shadow made their way to Zarchary who was coated in purple aura – his forbidden technique was only applicable as an escape tactic, it didn't give him speed or grant him an immense amount of strength neither did it grant him an endless pool of magical energy which in turn would destroy his body.
Zarchary's technique consisted in burning through his magical reserves in a forbidden manner, in this way, he was able to amplify his speed to the brink of what was possible in his demonic body – but even with that, Rem was keeping up with him effortlessly.
The shadow tendrils contorted and shot at him, Zarchary was forced to pull his escape to a halt to avoid them. He leaped through the air and dodged them.
"You're far much stronger than before," Zarchary said as he faced Rem, the tendrils slamming into the ground and kicking up dust, "You've reawakened, haven't you?"
